Our guide, Gabriele, knew and took us to the best spots on the island. He was a fun guy to be with. We were good friends by the end of the tour. I can't describe the scenery as I couldn't do it justice. You have to see it for yourself.

Arlene_B

Had a great tour of Sete Cicades. What a beautiful park. Gabriel was an excellent tour guide and is very knowledgeable of the Azores. I want to return and explore more of this breathtaking archipelago.

Kristin_S

Gabriel was an incredible guide that I would recommend to anyone. We were supposed to land in Madeira and were diverted to the Azores due to bad weather. We had no knowledge of the Azores and nothing planned, but Gabriel was able to accommodate us last minute and take us on an amazing, all-encompassing tour of the island. He was flexible with what we wanted to do, and determined to give us an unforgettable experience. He’s also very friendly and fun to be around. There wasn’t a dull moment—we saw everything we wanted to and more.

Rodney_K

We had a great day with Gabriel as our guide. He was very informative in all aspects about The Azores, the history and its geography, and its relationship with Portugal. He also took interest in our own national identity and views on the world. Can’t praise him enough.

The tour with Gabriel, our experienced guide, was truly impressive. Thank you—I'll definitely be back!

Visiting Sete Cidades with Gabriele was great. The natural beauty and views were stunning, and Gabriele guided us to some unexpected spots with amazing sights. He set up a fun buggy ride for us, and it was not just enjoyable but also informative. Gabriele's professionalism, happy attitude, and knowledge of the island's history made the whole experience even better. The scenery was absolutely beautiful! We would definitely suggest getting in touch with Gabriele for a great exploration of Sao Miguel, as he made our experience truly memorable.

We scheduled an ATV ride with Gabriel and toured the Sete Cidades. He was professional, kind, informative and fun. He was knowledgeable and explained the history of the island and the area which we were touring. He was so excellent that we scheduled a half day trekking in Port Formoso with him and …. wow! It was a bit challenging but definitely doable and rewarding ! The scenery was absolutely beautiful! We will definitely reach out to Gabriel again when we return. If you are looking to explore Sao Miguel to the fullest we would recommend Gabriel ! ✌️🌴

A morning that will not soon be forgotten!!! Gabriel grew up on the island and you can feel the passion when he is guiding or sharing his experiences and knowledge. Discover less explored places as well as tourist attractions. A guide dedicated to providing the best possible experience for visitors. An experience that you cannot miss on your visit to the paradise that is the island of São Miguel!!!

I really liked how the excursion was organized - exploring beautiful places and at the end the opportunity to swim and snorkel; lunch was also included in the excursion (buffet, varied selection of dishes, drinks). Gabriel is an excellent guide, knows the island very well, takes into account wishes, showed the lakes from different points, the views are gorgeous. Sete Cidades is one of the most beautiful places on the island.
